Wound Drainage Types 🩹❤️‍🩹

🤍 Serous: Clear, watery discharge

❤️ Sanguineous: Bloody discharge

🩷 Serosanguineous: Blood + water

💚 Purulent: Infected discharge

👉 What is serous drainage? It is PLASMA without proteins. Plasma is the liquid part of your blood.

⚠️ NCLEX Tip: Diabetic patients should be monitored regularly for pressure sores and wounds due to peripheral neuropathy and slowed wound healing.

Happy Studying! XO Nurse Amanda ❤️

A hand holds a stack of various pimple patch product boxes, illustrating the diverse range of options available. The image features text "different types of PIMPLE PATCHES and their unique uses," introducing the article's topic.
Two hands display clear hydrocolloid patches, with two product boxes for basic hydrocolloid patches below. The text describes these as "HYDROCOLLOID" patches, "most basic, non-medicated," best for whiteheads at the skin's surface.
Two hands hold opaque medicated hydrocolloid patches, with two product boxes for medicated acne patches below. The text identifies these as "MEDICATED HYDROCOLLOID" patches, containing active ingredients to help whiteheads surface faster.
different types of pimple patches 🩹
i love pimple patches because they help to prevent me from involuntarily picking at my skin and causing worser scars, but did you know there are different types of patches? instead of the basic hydrocolloid, the market was able to create other patches to treat acne and pimples in more specific ways

A straw hat and inflatable raft float on a swimming pool, with text overlay introducing "The Mother Wound & Its Impact on Your Identity" and stating that a fractured mirror led to piecing oneself together through pain.
Over a swimming pool scene, text defines "What is the Mother Wound?" as emotional, energetic, or ancestral pain from the maternal line, listing examples like absence, criticism, enmeshment, and generational silence.
